Boost Your Business IQ: How Apache Drill Provides Measurable Competitive
Benefits
An open source, schema-free SQL query engine-that certainly sounds
impressive. But what bottom-line benefits does Apache Drill bring to a
business?
The answer is straightforward: it enables a business to extract the most
value possible from data stored in Hadoop. Apache Drill does this by
breaking down many of the technical barriers that had restricted the ways
that analysts could work with data, and limited the intelligence that they
could glean from it.
With Apache Drill, data scientists are no longer constrained by the
limitations of last generation tools, and they are free to work with data in
a myriad of productive ways without draining IT resources.

Help Yourself: Leveraging Apache Drill's Self-Service Capabilities
Small data management solutions don't work in our brave new Big Data world.
Back in the small data days, we talked proudly about having gigabytes of
structured data that had been carefully denormalized to reduce latency as
much as possible. Today's data is measured in petabytes, and it is dynamic,
complex, and wildly varied in structure.
Small data was a nicely planned garden, but Big Data is a jungle: rich with
resources, abundant in growth, but also a bit overwhelming and easy to get
lost in.

How to Get More ROI from Big Data and Hadoop with Apache Drill
Many businesses have run a Hadoop Big Data system dedicated to a specific use
case. Perhaps they are collecting call center records, analyzing sensor
reports from the factory floor, or monitoring tweets to track customer
experience in real-time.
Confining Big Data-driven projects to select initiatives initially made
sense, as many of the initial Big Data analysis solutions were optimized for
a limited set of use cases. But solution options have matured and expanded,
as have the data sources businesses draw from. To ge... (more)

Cloud Expo

Cloud Computing & All That
It Touches In One Location Cloud Computing - Big Data - Internet of Things
SDDC - WebRTC - DevOps
Cloud computing is become a norm within enterprise IT.

The competition among public cloud providers is red hot, private cloud continues to grab increasing shares of IT budgets, and hybrid cloud strategies are beginning to conquer the enterprise IT world.

Big Data is driving dramatic leaps in resource requirements and capabilities, and now the Internet of Things promises an exponential leap in the size of the Internet and Worldwide Web.

The world of SDX now encompasses Software-Defined Data Centers (SDDCs) as the technology world prepares for the Zettabyte Age.

Add the key topics of WebRTC and DevOps into the mix, and you have three days of pure cloud computing that you simply cannot miss.

Delegates will leave Cloud Expo with dramatically increased understanding the entire scope of the entire cloud computing spectrum from storage to security.

Cloud Expo - the world's most established event - offers a vast selection of 130+ technical and strategic Industry Keynotes, General Sessions, Breakout Sessions, and signature Power Panels. The exhibition floor features 100+ exhibitors offering specific solutions and comprehensive strategies. The floor also features two Demo Theaters that give delegates the opportunity to get even closer to the technology they want to see and the people who offer it.

Attend Cloud Expo. Craft your own custom experience. Learn the latest from the world's best technologists. Find the vendors you want and put them to the test.
